fedex facility is dead. the facility is on lockdown. police are going through the building looking for more victims. all six people shot are at a nearby hospital. the conditions are not known but we're told one is rushed into surgery. fedex is aware of the situation and cooperating with authorities. again it does appear as police have the scene under control with the gunman now dead. we'll continue to monitor the situation and bring you updates as soon as we get them. now to a developing story, millions are mens are still in the path of potentially deadly tornadoes. take a look at this radar. right now the storm is churning through georgia after tearing through the midwest and deep south. at least 28 people have died within the last 48 hours and tens of thousand of people in several states still without power. yesterday, about three dozen tornadoes ripped through alabama, tennessee, and mississippi. in fact, one nbc weatherman was live on the air in mississippi

sterling. you see him there. commissioner silver promised to act quickly. possible outcome. he does have authority to get the lifetime suspension to fine him 1 million bucks. not sure if they could force him to sell the clippers which sterling purchased for $12 million. he thinks that a boycott of all clippers' games is the way to go. that just hurts players. the team's value is 575 million bucks. sports attorney, xavier pope said that's where you have to hit sterling where it hurts. >> they are hitting him where it counts. his pocketbook. hurting a potential sale, his team's value. that's where this is so far hitting. look at responsed who backed off. red bull, state farm, corona, sprint. we also heard from michael

jordan, owner of charlotte bobcats, weighing in as many owners are. jordan said, i'm completely outraged. there's no room in the nba or anywhere else for this racism. i'm appalled this ignorance still exists in this country and at the highest level of sports. the naacp just announced they would like to meet with commissioner silver as well to discuss the influence and impact of racism in the national babble association. they say this event is a reminder, racism, bigotry is still alive. >> still exists. >> in some places, in professional sports but you think, boy, what year is it now? it's pretty amazing. >> the boycotts continue. the clippers coming here to play the warriors. >> some players say that just hurts the players and fans and bottom line. >> the pocketbook. all right. thanks so much. scott. >> this morning, state leaders looking to close loophole on

laws against sexual assault and cyberbullying. the proposal comes from a response that garnered national attention. today we're live in saratoga with more detail on audrey's law. good morning. >> good morning you to, scott. it is a heartbreaking story. today, audrey's law goes before a public safety committee in sacramento. they're going to look at details aimed at ending bullying, cyberbullying and sexual assault. you recall 15-year-old audrey potts took her own life back in september of 2012 after she drank too much at a house party and passed out. she awoke to find messages, words scribbled on her body. afterward, facebook messages suggest she knew pictures were taken and perhaps fellow students knew she had been assaulted as well. the teen boys were charged in juvenile court, 30 to 45 days. today that public safety

committee in sacramento is looking at sb 830 a. that would make it easier to bring adult charges and a potential for a longer sentence, against suspects who were juvenile or assault victims too intoxicated or mentally impaired to fight back. there could also be criminal enhancement if that offender shares electronic photos or texts specifically meant to bully the victim. that hearing starts at 5:00 this morning. audrey's dad is among the speakers. thank you. in the meantime the white house will announce measures to combat sexual assault on college campuses. they came up with recommendations for schools across the country. first they're asking them to conduct surveys to understand the extent of sexual assault on college campus. the task force is also asking schools to implement bystander intervention program to

encourage people to step in when they see someone in trouble. they can also suggest ways to help victims of sexual assault after the crime occurs. the task force created a website called not alone.gov with additional resources. >> a group of san jose state students trying to organize a walkout in protest of fee increases. students are upset about a student success, excellent and technology fee. they say, despite the title, most of that money goes fund the athletic department. they want to be reimbursed. those fees are tacked on to the student tuition and determined by the success of the university. it's time to give you a live look outside and check the forecast, the other shot looks a little hazy in this. things are certainly going to warm up. let's check in with christina. >> i thought you were going to take that one as well.

here are today's top stories. the gunman in a shooting in a

fedex center in atlanta is dead after an apparent suicide. authorities say the man walked into a facility in georgia and shot six people. all of the victims in the hospital we're told at least one is in emergency surgery. >> the san jose woman accused of stabbing her 7-month-old baby boy will be in court this morning. 23-year-old ashley newton confessed to the killing saturday. right now millions of people across the south of bracing for another round of potentially deadly weather. at least 28 people were killed as dozens of tornadoes tore through several states. this morning the santa clara board of supervisors will talk about a proposal that restaurants be more up front can customers. we have more on what it could mean for restaurants and customers the next time you go out to eat. good morning. >> reporter: good morning you to here in san pay doe square.

elsewhere in santa clara county. if you're going to your favorite restaurant. it's easier to figure out how safe they are and what they're like in terms of cleanliness. as a result of a report done last year. in a few hours, santa clara county board of supervisors will consider implementation of a similar grading system already in effect for the city of los angeles. if approved restaurants in the south bay would have to post a green, yellow or red placard in the window of their establishment. letting customers know whether or not they passed the latest food safety inspection. green would mean they've had more than -- or, just no more than one major violation. yellow would be two or more. that would be a conditional pass. red would indicate the eatery not only had a violation but failed to fix the problem. the department of environmental health's website would also be posting more information about the restaurant, such as a complete inspection report along

with a score of zero to 100 reflects how welt restaurant complied with those violations. last year the investigative unity found many restaurants that would not show their inspection report when asked. which is required by law. the unit also discovered that the county's website is vague in its own reporting of violations. there's a ucla study that found in 2003, food bourne illnesses dropped by roughly a third in los angeles, after that city instituted its grading system and that the restaurants ended up making more money if they had the better grade. the silicon valley chamber coalition reportedly expressed its concerns to the board in santa clara county over the $100 fee used to institute this new grading system and there are concerns that it might confuse customers that a straight up pass-fail would be clearen than red, yellow or green. reporting live in san oh hey. >> thanks, bob.

>> the future of a car that doesn't need a driver may be closer to booking reality. google's self-driving car project logged 700,000 miles at this point. most of them on the freeway. but you see the google video. self-driving cars have been cruising through city streets in mountainview as well. the project's director said the technology is getting better and cars can detect hundreds of distinct objects at the same time. >> we taught the vehicle to recognize and navigate through construction zones. our sensors spot the signs and cones early. and they can change lanes safely. >> you won't have human irerror, you won't have bad judgment. you would theoretically have a safer environment. >> as of right now, google said there's no firm decision when this might be available to the public. it's getting to the subtle things. google said it can detect, you make a right turn. you put your hand up.

the car can see that now. and knows it will make a right. >> if it allows me more time to sleep in and drive to work. sign me up. >> sleep in the back seat. >> take a look at forecast. live look at san jose and san francisco. sun coming up over the bay area. going to feel like a touch of summer, too. >> let me get this straight. it's the end of april. we're in northern california. so far, i'm okay. and it's going to be 100 degrees. >> yes, that's accurate. >> what happened to april showers, bring may flowers. >> we have a chance for that. the weather story i'm focusing in on, the heat. grab your shades today. extra water and make sure you don't overdo it. we have not seen temperatures for months. talking about warmer days, the triple digits come back into the mix tomorrow. as you know, bay area residents, we don't hit the triple digits all of that often. even the summertime is a rare

occasion. for us to do it in the spring time. that's why i want to make sure you are aware of it. getting into the last two days of april and temperatures are going to be toasty, feeling like june or july out there. temperatures right now, pretty comfortable for outdoor activities. want to know what to expect as we head out the day. we're only going to be about a degree away from the peninsula. where we're headed. 65 degrees by 9:00 a.m. at lunch time. we are at 78 degrees. you might be kicking on your ac at that point by 3:00 p.m. 87 degrees and then as you are starting to think about going to sleep tonight, temperatures will be very warm at 70 degrees, at 9:00 p.m. once the sun starts to go down. if you live in the city, you don't have ac. close those blinds. and we'll get a nice breeze later on as well. if you want to open up the window, temperatures start to drop off as we head to the 5:00 our. 88 in the south bay. 87 in the peninsula.

91 degrees for hot wine country today. and even warmer tomorrow. we'll start to drop off as we head into thursday. then some changes coming your way towards the weekend. an area of low pressure moves closer to the coast. that will drop the temperatures friday. we're down to the 70s by saturday and maybe showers sunday morning and temperatures falling into the 60s in san jose by sunday. more weather whiplash. i know. mother nature can't make up their mind. at least mike can. >> it is traffic tuesday. we'll give you a chan to use all your weather icon, we're only using the green, a little orange and yellow. we talk about the build for the south bay. that's what we see around capital expressway. north 101 patches slowing. we show the bagdown north of 680. 85 will follow close suit. typical pattern but a lighter follow for traffic tuesday around the bay.

as the summer brings us -- spring and summer brings us longer daylight hours, we tend to see the traffic spread out as well. we'll look toward the east bay for slowing. we'll show you eastbound, westbound, 580. a smooth drive through livermore and still slowing through the dublin interchange. and 680 is where we start to see the build. typical there as well as trivalley and caster valley. slower drive but no drum here. heading towards the san mateo bridge. easy drive across the dumbarton bridge. nothing dramatic coming out of richmond. we'll give you that shot of a little slowing coming up through oakland. northbound, we're tipicking up e volume. look how clear that is. a little slowing north of the downtown area. of course the bay bridge toll plaza. southbound we showed you that earlier. look at that. the cash lanes are starting to

injuries are. of course to continue to monitor the situation, bring you updates as soon as we get them. >> can police look at information on your cell phone without your consent or woupt a warrant? that's the issue before the supreme court this morning. today in the bay tracy potts is live with more details. good morning, tracy. >> it's actually two cases, one out of california and one out of boston where police got information that led to arrests. problem is your cell phone is not like your wallet or purse police can go through after you've been arrested. it's more like a mini computer, which police would need a warrant. on the other hand you have the obama administration arguing, some of this information can quickly disappear after an arrest, so they need to get it quickly. encryption. remote access, it's key evidence, they argue. those are the cases before the court today. now, there's one key difference in these two cases, one involved

the smartphone. the other involved a flip phone, a photo on a flip phone. that means we have two cases that have not been consolidated. two different arguments. scott we could end up with two different results. >> that would be interesting, tracey. >> i have nothing but respect for the justices, remember the tv case where scalia was confused how hbo worked? are they going to be able to understand the nuances of cell phones? >> last week we saw that on full display, department we? at one point, the justice said i don't under the movie "social media." so, it is clear they're going to have a bit of a learning curve, perhaps, when it comes to dealing with the technology of cell phones, because part of what they're arguing here, on one side, is that access through cell phones, you're dealing with apps that have access to the cloud, to documents that other types of phones may not have access to. your flip phone can't

accommodate those kinds of apps. absolutely there's going to be a learning curve for the justices and we'll see what types of questions they ask in a short time from now. >> they all have android and iphone, maybe they'll know. tracey potts. thank you very much. >> 6:33 right now you don't have to check your phone for the forecast. we have a live look outside right now. sun coming up over the bay. we have the forecast right here right now. for meteorologist christina lauren. >> i can tell you which beach will have waves. try that. 60 degrees in concord, 60 degrees in half moon bay. 40 degrees in san jose. we know you can get your weather from the phone. that's why we like to take it a step further. we offer you, the seven day forecast right there at the bottom of the screen for the microclimate. maybe you don't live in the same area you work in. you see what it's like in san

francisco and san jose. let me tell you it's hot everywhere. 48 degrees in livermore. headed towards comfortable conditions for the first part of the day. between 10:00 and noon, getting warm out there. the reason why, your winds really tell the weather story of the day. a lot of aerios, even in oakland point to the ocean. typically we get the cool natural ac off the pacific. that's what keeps our temperatures so nice here. keep us in the nice mediterranean climate. for today it will feel like summertime all across the board because the offshore wind negates that offshore influence. temperatures work like this. 88 degrees in the south bay. 89 degrees in north bay. we're flirting with reports for today. strong sunshine, peak warmth today. elevated fire danger as well. although we do not have a red flag warning in place. we'll let you know if that

changes. as we head through the week. the heat returns. you have to get through a couple turns before that happens. giving you a brief overview for today. 89 degrees in the trivalley. these temperatures warm to 94 degrees and we'll stay nice and warm through thursday, mike. yeah. a lot more motorcyclists on the road. >> first of all, you're inaccura inaccurate. that's hot. that's hot, that's hot. >> all right. looking over here. as christina said, watch for the motorcycle drivers, smaller vehicle, look at that blind shot as you're supposed to. this is the berkeley curve. slow irdrive, tail rights away from us. making the turn to the right to the bay bridge, let's look at toll plaza approach. freeway, a slower drive through berkeley and now checking in the with orange. that means speads are coming down. red off 580 in the approach. that means speeds 20 miles an hour, as you approach off 24. then the approach. out of san pablo actually not so

bad. so holding pretty steady for traffic tuesday. we see a lot more slower drive than tuesday. a lot more traffic on the road. 80, 101, slower drive. heyward, san pablo. 87 and 101, speeds coming down to the upper 50s. let take a look at coming out of the drive. you saw that costco truck drive by. we have slowing in freemont and out of pleasanton. back you to. thank you. we could find out if three middle school students could be charged after investigators say they broke into a high school and killed classroom pets. three teens broke into adrian wilcox high school. they killed a rabbit, duck and rooster kept in the classrooms. the students also accused of vandalizing a snack shop and several cars used in auto shop class.

your way. we'll stay nice and clear all of the way through the evening, a little low cloud cover out there. not much. that's a result of the offshore flow. your sun will set at 7:57. we'll take you through the changes for today. as of 9:00 a.m. we'll be at 65 degrees. then the warm-up is on between none and 3:00 p.m. we're close to 90 degrees and 3:30 is typically the warmest point of the day. that's when you want to head indoors if you can. 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., nice and mild. 82 degrees in san jose at 6:00 p.m. and 70 degrees by 9:00 p.m. as people try to get to sleep tonight. could be a little difficult if you live in a place where we don't have ac. keep that in mine. in san francisco, might be time to pull out the fan in the closet. 88 degrees in the south pay. and peninsula at 87 degrees. we want to take you through the changes we have coming our way the next five days. as we head through thursday, those are the warmest days.

friday that heat braeaks. weir he in the 70s and 60s on saturday in san francisco and maybe showers sunday mornings aan area of lepressure tracks our way. definitely have more change coming to the forecast. it will be a hot one. let's check with mike. >> christina, talking about the daylight stretch. you get more daylight hours. as we see that, we see it sort of stretch out as well. leave work early and head in a little later. we're seeing that happen. we're not hitting quite as hard as we expect. after spring break, we see slowing, southbound 380. a little breeze going on but the flag right here, not a big problem. so we'll look at the map through this area. southbound, 880 shows slowing from dakota to the dumbarton bridge. we have slowing towards mission boulevard. slow south 680 as well. silicon valley, northbound 101 slow from capital through the

airport. 87 into downtown as well. a new crash involving three vehicles, north 87 at 101. just heard about that. next time we see slowing that continues over there and north 85 with the volume building at the south bay. a typical pattern and now kicking in a little later for the community. west 580 sos a pattern. towards dublin. toward 50 miles per hour and eases up as you head through to 680 southbound as well. northbound, 248, a typical pattern a little late there as well. but the bay bridge itself, we have metering lights on there. a live look shows the east sh e shoreway. thank you. mike. a tornado outbreak flattened homes, and flipped cars in at least four states. right now the storm is still on

the move, blowing into georgia. this morning tens of thousands of people are without power throughout the south including alabama. that's where we are joined live in the town of bessimer. >> good morning, it's been quite the morning in alabama and the northern part of the state. down in birmingham, sirens sounded 8:00 p.m. they continue well past might night. here's the damage we're seeing, winds shearing off a portion of the roof in an apartment complex, that looks dangerous but it's what you can't see that's the most dangerous. a gas leak. they had to be evacuated as that was repaired. the medical center lost power last night and had to operate on emergency generators but were able to keep the doors open. an area near here, you have more problems, downed power lines,

downed trees, huge trees pulled up at the roots and laid across the road in people's driveways. we saw a garage blown into a bit of a gult. it was a bit of a scary night for people. tornados came through when it was dark. you couldn't see very well. you could hear the eerie call of the sirens and you knew there's a chance something was headed to you. in birmingham they evacuated people from the higher floors of tall buildings, hotels putting their guests in their tornado shelters. we are expecting more bad weather today. already you can see it's really gray, really cloudy. we'll see rain, you think, some higher winds but the one thing people are hoping they don't see are more tornadoes. back you to. >> that's the thing. they try to go through some of the destruction but you can barely make anything out, sarah. sometimes it just picks up an entire house, shakes it to bits

allegedly made by clippers' owner donald sterling. a suspension is likely. that's happened in the nba and other professional sports leagues. if he is suspended could not attend games or functions and could be forced to hand over day-to-day operations of the team. financially he would be fined $1 million. chump change, since he the the clippers are worth 175 million. some say this really hurts the team and players. former nba players agree that this is a crucial moment for the nba. the nba deals with this in a quick and fort right manner. they continue to have credibility. >> this reminds us many of the situation from major league baseball. marge shott. owner of the cincinnati reds. tar getted minorities to sympathizing with the nazi, major league baseball suspended

than one major violation. yellow is two or more. that's conditional. and red would be a bad one. that indicates the eatery not only had a violation but failed to fix the problem. the county department of of environmental health website would have to post more information such as a complete inspection report along with a score of zero to 100 to reflect how well the restaurant complied. the silicon valley chamber coalition reportedly expressed the concerns to the board over the $100 fee. and they're also concerned that it might confuse customers that perhaps a straight up pass-fail would be clearer. the board is considering this as a result of the nba investigative unit report that was done last year. in that report, it was found many restaurants would not show the inspection report when asked. the unit also discovered that the county's website was vague in its own reporting of

violation. incidentally, ucla study in 2003. that food-bourne illnesses dropped by a third after the city instituted that system. and restaurants with good grades made more money. reporting live. >> thank you. bob. >> let's get a look at the forecast. it's going to be hot, christina. >> that's right. except by the water. i'm talking about the coast. temperatures will be on the warm side. if you can get out there. good news, we have some all of way to 8:00 p.m. right now, we're in the mid 50s. we're headed towards the upper 80s later on today in places like san jose. make sure you're ready for that. if you missed the seven-day forecast we'll have it for you every 15 minutes throughout the "today" show. >> a little lighter and gentle build until tuesday.
